FAST -- X6 platforms deliver better performance for I/O-hungry applicationssuch as analytics and database and save 40% or more with innovative flashtechnology1
AGILE -- X6 platforms can host multiple generations of technology andreduce acquisition costs by 25%2 or more with fit-for-purpose modular design
RESILIENT -- Meet the demands of enterprise workloads; get 3x thememory and increase system availability
1Based on savings from server and storage consolidation which includes lower hardware and software expenditures
2More than 25% lower acquisition cost is based on a comparison of an x3850 X6 (using the modular rack design) vs a traditional rack design with no modularity. Based on projected Q1 2014 pricing of x3850 X6

Standard x86 servers will see memory speed lower as moreDIMMs are populated
Each processor has 8 channels
Each channel supports up to 3 DIMMs
Results in 24 DIMMs per processor
As you add more DIMMs to each channel, the Intel architecture will lower the memory bus speed from 1333Mhzto 1066Mhz (20% reduction) for workloads over 1TB(assuming 16GB DIMMs)

Unlike memory, storage devices are remote to theprocessor

As a result, response time suffers significantly
